History
History
The inspiration behind Ana Foundation comes from the tireless community work of its founder, Ana Cortés. With more than 17 years of experience in community service, Ana has dedicated her life to helping people in vulnerable situations.
Her passion for service and her deep commitment to her cause led her to establish the Ana Foundation to create a positive and lasting impact in the community. Her journey began in her community, where she identified the need for support and resources for those facing significant challenges. With strong determination and a compassionate heart, Ana began to get involved in different local projects and organizations, providing help where it was needed most.
Ana's passion for community service led her to participate and lead—her ability to connect with people and understand their needs positioned her as a natural leader. However, Ana felt that she could do more and that her mission required a more formal structure and greater scope. Thus was born Ana Foundation, an organization dedicated to creating a positive and lasting impact in the community.
The Ana Foundation has implemented mentoring programs for youth, organized free health clinics, and provided job search assistance for unemployed adults. Each initiative is designed to offer sustainable and long-term solutions, ensuring that beneficiaries not only receive immediate help, but also the tools necessary to build a better future. Ana Cortés and her team remain committed to her mission, inspiring others to join her cause and work together for a more just and compassionate world.
Ana Foundation is not just an organization; It is a testament to the power of dedication and service. He is a beacon of hope for those who need a helping hand and an inspiration for all those who believe in the possibility of positive change.

Homelessness: California faces a significant homelessness crisis. In 2023, more than 180,000 people experienced homelessness in the state, representing a 53% increase since 2013. California is home to approximately 30% of the nation's homeless population and nearly half of the unsheltered population. (Benioff Initiative) (Terner Center). Additionally, about one-third of homeless veterans in the U.S. reside in California (The San Francisco Standard).
Domestic Violence: Regarding domestic violence, statistics indicate that California reports high levels of incidents. In 2020, there were more than 166,000 calls to police related to domestic violence in the state. Women are the primary victims, and it is estimated that one in three women in California has experienced domestic violence at some point in her life.
Sexual Abuse: Sexual abuse is also a serious problem in California. According to state data, more than 13,000 cases of sexual abuse are reported each year. Victims of sexual abuse include both women and men, although women represent the majority of reported cases.
Addictions:The problem of addictions is another important challenge. In 2022, more than 3 million adults in California needed substance abuse treatment, but less than 10% of them received the help they needed. The most commonly abused substances include alcohol, opioids, and methamphetamine.
These statistics underscore the urgency and importance of the work Renacer Solidario does to address these interconnected crises and provide comprehensive support to the most vulnerable people in our community.
